Chandigarh, November 21

A local court has awarded 10-year imprisonment to a resident of Ambala for carrying 150 banned injections.

The court also imposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh on the convict, identified as Virender Pal (32), under Section 10 of the NDPS Act.

According to the prosecution, on February 8 last year, a police patrolling team in Sector 29 saw a man coming towards Tribune Chowk around 10:30 pm. He was holding a blue polythene bag in his hand. On seeing cops, he turned around and started walking quickly.

Cops got suspicious and apprehended him. On checking, they found 75 Buprenorphine (2ml each) and 75 Pheniramine Maleate (10ml each) injections in the polythene bag. As he could not produce a licence or permit to carry the vials, a case under the NDPS Act was registered against him.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
